Computer Programming / Re: SourceForge VS Google Code

I have to second the vote for github/gitorious for quick and simple VCS hosting they do the job very well and GIT is a very powerful VCS once you get past the minor learning curve and I have found it to be much nicer than SVN though SVN is quick to setup.

The title of the post was a last minute decision, I could not for the life of me think of a good title.  It is the least important part.  Omnimaga is not attacking Cemetech with this post.
But you continued that tone throughout the post, that was my point, the topic was just an example.

Qwerty: It's pretty convoluted, and we don't fully understand it.  This page sums up our knowledge quite nicely.

Jonimus and ACagliano, fair enough.

Also one thing to clarify:

When you arrive on a site: there's no such thing as the first ammendmnent. It's not protected by it. You can say what you want, but the admins are free to censor anything they want or punish people for whatever reason they want. The only thing you can do is if you are not satisfied with that, you need to start your own forum.
That is true, however, I was merely expressing my opinion on the matter.
But there is a difference between saying, "Our Problem with your site" and constructive criticism. Its not what you mean to say but how you said it that is part of the issue.

Personally, I rated down the post, because I and others have brought up problems from other sites on here or vice-versa in the past, and it only caused more problems than it should. Such matter should be discussed with the admin concerned, or the admin should discuss them with you, like I do everytime there is an issue between an Omni member and myself/my site.

I disagree that the rant should have been deleted, I think it would be fine since it would clarify things, but it is Kerm's website: He has the right to decide what is allowed and what's not, and you can do nothing about it. The only thing you can do is if something wrong occurs on Omnimaga directly. It's like if someone complains that we're too strict on rude comments: Omnimaga is our site and we reserve the right to punish people who are unnecessarly rude to others. Cemetech is not Omnimaga and Omnimaga is not Cemetech. It's Kerm decision run run Cemetech how he does. I tried convincing every admin of other sites to disallow rude comments before and it gave me a bad reputation for a while, because they are not my site and admins there can run them how they want.

That said, I do not know what happens behind the scenes and I effectively saw words "omnidrama" or "omninoobs" before, but we can do nothing about it. If people notice bad things said against Omnimaga, it's up to them to decide if they mind it or not and if they want to stay or leave. If you have suggestions to improve Cemetech, you should post them in his website sub-forum. If they get censored, then at least you will have tried to post them at the right place.

I'm leaving this topic intact and open, but if it turns into an Cemetech bashing thread or an inter community dispute, I will lock it and take the usual action against those who participated. Let's learn from the community past mistakes that nearly caused its death, shall we?
I made a more lengthy response on Cemetech but I feel DJ has summed up exactly what I was thinking. The only issue I have seen people on Cemetech have with Omnimaga is the drama that seems to stem from it, whether that opinion is justified or not. IMO there are other things that usually cause the drama in the community and it is a shame the Omnimaga seems to often get caught in the thick of it even though they are not the cause. I for one feel that terms like Omnidrama and similar are not acceptable in any community calculators or otherwise and while I have not seen that term used if I do I feel the first mod/admin to encounter such words should take care of it as they see fit in accordance with their respective sites rules.

Other Calc-Related Projects and Ideas / Re: TILP: beta-testing...

Cross posted from cemetech.

OMFG!!! Lionel Debroux it is time for all Windows users of TiLP to rejoice for 2 reasons.

1)libusb-win32 is now WHQL signed so we are now 64bit safe. We just need to update the version of libusb-win32 we package to include this.

2)The filter driver does indeed allow our driver and Ti-Connect to be installed at the same time with no uninstalling of drivers. All that is required is that one add all the device to the filter list and it "Just Works". I would suggest we add an option to the installer to use this route in place of the normal libusb driver.

All this info can be found on the libusb-win32 wiki.

On a related note Lionel, any idea as to why the 3.03 tar never got onto sf.net?

TI-Nspire / Re: Would an NES emulator be possible on nSpire?
« on: September 25, 2010, 02:27:14 pm »
I often hear x86 out there. Would x86 emulation pretty much be emulating a computer or were there consoles using that processor?
The original Xbox is the only console I know of that uses x86, the 360, Wii, and PS3 all use PPC.

Nice work Ranman, all I need now is freecell and I'll almost have no need for my 86.

Yeah, Tile World is a pretty fun clone, but iirc it doesn't support entering passwords to go to a specific level, but maybe that was because I was using an old build for Windows CE.

Also since I have the Full Windows Entertainment Pack from Win95 getting the .dat file won't be an issue for me. :P

[OTcalc] Z80-Hardware / Re: [OTZ80] [Poll] Mini USB or regular USB?
« on: August 23, 2010, 02:24:46 am »
The other option we have is microUSB but I'm not sure if you can have microUSB be a host like you can with Mini-A USB ports.

Edit: A quick Wikipedia check says that MicroUSB can indeed be a host but cables that would allow such use are much harder to find.

ASM / Re: Nspire RAM Pages

so basically none of his games would run on an original 83+, but 83+SE's and 84+/SE's are fine?

Also, do we even know if the eZ80 will be stable when underclocked, without that info it is useless to even think about under-clocking it.

Schools will not buy armies of rechargeable batteries, so we should just pretend they do not exist.

Batteries are a huge issue, and multitasking is just dumb for a single purpose embedded device I hate to shoot you and SirCmpwn down but that's just the case. Even at 50Mhz the overhead is not worth it, period, and really as nice as the z80 and eZ80 series procs are I'd almost say we are being dumb for not using something without a FPU built in. An IEEE compliant FPU would make it shit easy to make a calculator that can do all the math we need it to.

Not to mention if we want to beat TI on the price point every $ saved will matter and make it more accessible to everyone.
